It seems like every week there is some new protest or demonstration of some kind.

isnt the whole point of this country that you can protest about something you believe in?

Maybe we need to demonstrate to protest protests?

It’s so much easier to organize large groups of people now.

That doesn't make them any less tiresome. Have you ever heard the fable of the boy crying wolf? You protest every single thing you disagree with and protests become ineffective.

Isn’t the whole point of this country that you can have any opinion about any protest someone else believes in?

Once I decided to stop watching the news in any fashion, my ignorance of current events has led to much more happiness.

Personally, I'm tired of schoolchildren being mowed down by assault rifles on a too-frequent basis.

I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

Just to be clear, your words... you think the whole point of this country is that we can protest?
I think you are way off. The "point" is that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The right to protest is something we take for granted, given many areas around the world, but I think the OP's point is valid... we have a grievance culture, and much of the protesting seems to be almost for the sake of protesting.

Just makes you appreciate the prescient brilliance of PCU even more - We're NOT gonna protest!

i think the whole point of our country is that we have inalienable personal liberties that are bestowed upon us naturally and that the government can not take those away. the right to protest happens to be one of those. you can feel how the OP does that people are going overboard and that they are tiresome to read about. i just disagree

No one is saying they have an issue with it.

Again, people are disagreeing with the right to protest. Just that it is tiresome and ineffective at enacting change. The protests that have been effective in this country's history have involved action. All of the ones now are just a bunch of fanatics (on both sides) just screaming a bunch of babble. It's unhealthy and ineffective.
Screaming on the damn internet does no one any good. If you really believe in something you have to be willing to give something up to get change. Going out on the street and calling every one you disagree with racist, sexist, racist, et all is not giving something up.

The overwhelming majority of the world allows protests. The right to protest is absolutely not something America has a monopoly on.
People displaying mass ignorance regularly isn’t something that should be championed. Allowed? Sure. But I give no respect to it.

The more they are the less effective they are. Hope it keeps up.

This guy sums it all up 100% of the time.

Just that it is tiresome and ineffective at enacting change.
